3 Determinants of economic growth To understand the influence of globalization on economic growth, it is important to understand which are the fundamental determinants of economic growth We define economic growth as the growth of total output per capita produced in an economy Recall that GDP is a measure of Value of production made by the residents in a country Amount of income that is distributed to the residents of a country Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 3
4 The Solow model (1956) Output (Y) is produced by combining technology (T), capital (K) and labour (L) according to a certain production function (F) Y=F(T,K,L) The production function is characterized by constant returns to scale With full employment, L=population Growth of GDP per capita Growth in capital per worker (K/L) Growth in technology (T) Assumption: closed economy GDP per capita=y/l=f(t,k/l) Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 4
5 Growth of capital The capital stock is built by cumulating investments Create new capital Substitute obsolete capital Investments are financed through savings Saving = income consumption By reducing consumption today (i.e. increasing saving), the economy Increases the capital stock faster Output (and income and consumption) will grow faster in the future Due to decreasing marginal returns, K/L will not grow indefinitely (assumption of constant share of income devoted ot savings) There is a level of K/L of equilibrium Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 5
6 Figure 13.2 Income levels and capital accumulation (Solow) 5 output 4 3 capital available from savings = investment A Equilibrium 2 1 B capital needed for depreciation and population growth 0 k* capital-labour ratio
7 Growth of technology Solow assumes that technology improvements occur exogenously Technology improvements permit to produce a larger amount of output for the same level of inputs Total Factor Productivity (TFP) F(T,K,L)<F(T+1,K,L) Once the K/L of equilibrium is reached, growth in per capita income is driven only by growth in TFP balanced growth path Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 7
8 Summing up In the long run, growth in GDP per capita is driven by technology improvements (TFP) If all countries can access the same technology, they will all converge to the same level of GDP per capita in the long run If poor countries have access to the same technology as rich countries, convergence just requires patience to built a sufficiently large capital stock Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 8

11 Beyond the Solow model: technology Technology improvements are considered as exogenous in the Solow model TFP growth, however, is the result of (substantial) investments in R&D by both the public and private sector Assuming equal access to technology by all countries is a very strong assumption (recall our discussion before introducing the HOS model ) Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 11
12 Beyond the Solow model: technology Technological change Improvements in organization that increase productivity Increases in productivity associated with new types of capital goods Quality improvements of existing technology for intermediate goods Newly created final goods Quality improvements in existing goods and services Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 12
13 Beyond the Solow model: technology Endogenous R&D Governments (public research institutes and public universities) play a crucial role for fundamental research basic research, based on science, that has no immediate commercial value the government invests in basic research as the market fails to provide this crucial input as the uncertainty about the success is too high Firms invest large amounts of resources in applied R&D the reward of applied R&D is the commercial value of the innovation Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 13
14 Beyond the Solow model: technology Knowledge as non-rival input Labour and capital used by one firm cannot be used by other firms rivalry Knowledge created by one firm can be used with no cost by other firms Non-rivalry implies that the advantage from the knowledge created by one firm can be enjoyed also by other firms Source of increasing returns to scale Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 14
15 Market power and growth The entrepreneur is at the center of technological improvements (Schumpeter, 1912) Innovative entrepreneurs successfully exploits new ideas commercially The success is rewarded by the enjoyment of market power by successfull innovative entrepreneurs Market power, by generating extra-profits, allows to recover the investments in innovation activities made by the entrepreneur and provides a premium for the risk incurred Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 15
16 Beyond the Solow model: human capital The role played by human capital (schooling, education, skills, etc) is disregarded by the Solow model More recent growth models (e.g. Romer, 1990) consider the role of the (endogenous formation of) human capital as a fundamental driver of long term economic growth Human capital is crucial to Develop new technologies Adopt new technologies Improve labour productivity Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 16

19 From closed to open economy To evaluate how globalization influences economic growth, we need to evaluate the impact of openness (to trade, investments, migration, knowledge) on the fundamental determinants of economic growth Specialization according to comparative advantage Increasing returns to scale and competition Access to capital Access to knowledge Risk sharing Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 19
20 Comparative advantage and growth Openness to trade allows countries to specialize according to their comparative advantage (Ricardo model) Thanks to trade, resources (i.e. production inputs) can be allocated in a more effective and efficient way for the production of the commodities for which the country has a comparative advantage Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 20
21 Increasing returns to scale, competition and growth If production is characterized by increasing returns to scale, the home market may be too small Firms cannot produce at their minimum efficient scale Only few (or even only one) firms are on the market High mark-ups High prices Openness induces competition (recall the Krugman model) and thus efficiency (e.g. through selection) Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 21
22 Access to capital and growth Capital accumulation is a crucial driver of convergence (and growth) If domestic saving are not large enough, access to foreign savings may help in accelerating the pace of capital accumulation Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 22
23 Access to knowledge and growth Knowledge incorporated into imports of intermediate inputs and capital goods Knowledge spillovers Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 23
24 Access to knowledge and growth New technologies developed abroad are ebodied in the products manufactured in foreign countries This is relevant both for intermediate inputs and capital goods By importing these products, other countries may use these technologies and improve their productivity Moreover, through reverse engineering, imitation in importing countries allows to further exploit the knowledge that is embodied in import Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 24
25 Access to knowledge and growth Knowledge spillovers Knowledge about new technologies, products and organizational arrangements may be transmitted through trade or FDI Successfull assimilation of foreign knowledge requires the presence of capabilities (e.g. experience in R&D, human capital) at home absortive capacity Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 25

27 Access to knowledge and growth North-South trade Producers in the South learn from technology incorporated in imported intermediate inputs and capital goods Sector specificities North-South FDI Producers in the South can imitate subsidiaries of Northern firms located in the South South-South trade The absorption of knowledge form the North by one country in the South can be transmitted to other countries in the South Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 27
28 Case study: role of foreign knowledge for improving environmental performance In this paper we evaluate the extent to which new environmental technologies embodied in imported intermediate inputs contribute to improved environmental performance at home for EU countries We measure the technological content (patents in foreign sectors) of imported intermediate inputs and contrast it with the change in air polluting emissions of manfuacturing sectors Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 28

31 Risk sharing and growth Open economies rely on (many) other countries for the supply of some inputs or for the consumption of some goods In case a catastrophic event that interrupts production at home, an open country can rely on foreign inputs and production to satisfy domestic demand, at least temporarily Closed economies are more exposed to famines Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 30
32 Three cases Japan China Korea Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 31
33 Japan Until the XVI century, the most important trade partner of Japan was China Reason for the similarity in culture, language, writing, etc After a period of civil wars, Japan became a closed (and rigid) economy Dutch were the only merchants allowed to enter the country between 1641 and 1854 Very strict limitations also for the Dutch Despite limited, the Dutch link was crucial for the prosperity of Japan technological improvements transmitted by the contact with the Dutch Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 32
34 Japan End of Dutch monopoly (1854) resulted into an increasing openness Japan imitated the institutions of other countries German/French educational system German-like army Migration (inward and outward) as a source of knowledge Foreign scientists were invited to teach to Japanese students (inward) Japanese students and scientists were sent abroad to learn from other countries (outward) Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 33
35 Back to the Future III (1990) DOC (from 1955): «Unbelievable that this little piece of junk can be such a big problem. Now wonder this circuit failed, it says made in Japan» Marty (from 1985): «What do you mean, DOC? All the best stuff is made in Japan» DOC (from 1955): «Unbelievable» Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 34
36 Japan After WWII, Japan built its success by first copying and imitating US technology in a few (important) export-oriented industries Automobiles Electronic equipment Successful adoption up to the point of becoming technological leader Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 35
37 China Communist country since 1949 Until 1958 China was open to the rest of the communist block, while from 1958 it remained almost isolated (Great Leap Forward of Mao to plan the development of the Chinese industry) Famine of (milion people died) Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 36
38 China After Mao died, Deng Xiaoping promoted a radical economic reform (from 1979) More room for markets Openness to FDI and trade Openness induced a rapid growth of capital accumulation and technology advances Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 37
39 Korea (North and South) Korea was a rather homogeneous united country before the Korea War ( ) After the war, the country split in two countries South Korea Open to foreign markets and FDI, market economy North Korea Autharchy and communist Now North Korea is a very poor country, while South Korea is very rich and technologically advanced Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 38
40 Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 39
41 Growth and openness Sachs and Warner (1995) distinguish countries according to their degree of openness Non-tariff barriers Tariffs Black market for currency Socialist economic system State monopoly on export Almost all closed economies are located in Sub- Saharan Africa Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 40

Initial income, population, and economic growth, annual growth, (%) ,000 10, , China India African countries Other countries GDP per capita in 1980 (log scale) Data source: World Development Indicators online; GDP per capita in constant 2000 US $; size of bubble in panel b is proportional to population size in 1980; information for 143 countries depicted, 131 with information plus 12 countries above 10 million people in 1980 with different time frame (as long as possible); together these countries account for 96 percent of the world population in 1980.
43 Openness and growth Wacziarg and Welch (2008) Countries that openned their economy to international trade had a growth 1.5 percent above the pre-openness period Van Marrewijk and Berden (2007) Asymmetric impact of openness The positive impact on economic growth of going from closed to open is much larger than the negative impact on economic growth of going from open to closed Spring 2017 Global Political Economy 42
